Bolt-less from the CMP, this one's an "early" one



It's my shooter

The sight on that CMP Saginaw almost looks milled, but it's stamped, right? The base just looks sturdier than mine. How's it marked? - Bob

Bob, rear sight is stamped, marked

I.R.CO
7160060

The receiver is, I believe, the earliest recorded example from SG's last serial number block

Hey, CC.
You have a very early 5.8 block SG. Have you done a Data Sheet on it?

Mine has just the I.R.CO (no numbers) with what looks a bit like an ordnance bomb right after the "O." There's a similar mark on the left side in about the same spot, so both could be marks left by sight tools - not sure. Mine is on an S'G' which has mixed parts. Riesch shows my sight as being late Inland (plus some others) and the one with the "IR.CO 716060" being Post War rebuild - but I don't know if that's correct. - Bob

Bubba-7, datasheet not yet submitted, but I'll be sure to do that if and when I ever receive this November's Newsletter to complete my 2011 subscription
